Russia has suffered over 100,000 casualties in five months of fighting in eastern Ukraine, particularly in Bakhmut, news agency AFP said quoting a White House official.
The latest satellite imagery shows the magnitude of destruction in the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut where the bulk of fighting has been taking place for the last 4-5 months.
The images released by Maxar Technologies, a private US company, reveal significant damage to schools, university building, apartment buildings and a radio tower in the city.
Ukraine's military made new advances on Wednesday despite sustained Russian shelling near the eastern city, news agency Reuters said.
"We are successfully conducting a defensive operation, counterattacking and during this day our units have penetrated up to 500 metres in some parts," military spokesman Serhiy Cherevatyi told Ukrainian television, according to Reuters.
